I thought I’d start 2023 off on an encouraging note, so this month’s subscriber playlist — titled “It’s Gonna Be Alright” — is filled with songs that remind us of what’s truly important (e.g., love, faith, community, grace) and paint a picture of the way the world ought to be. A picture that can inspire us to make those things a reality, even if it’s just in our little corner of the world.

Accompanying the playlist is the latest episode of my“Playlist Breakdown” podcast, in which I spotlight one of the playlist’s songs and why it’s so special, interesting, and/or meaningful. In this latest episode, I discuss “New Grass,” a sublimely beautiful song from Talk Talk’s fifth and final album, 1991’s Laughing Stock.
